Author: Rezo Bitsadze

  • EBRD launches public consultation on its inaugural Economic Governance Strategy
  • Consultation open for comments from 12 February 2026 to 28 March 2026
  • Comments, feedback can be submitted via email to EconomicGovernance@ebrd.com

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is launching a public consultation on its proposed Economic Governance Strategy, 2026-2030. The consultation will be open for comments from 12 February to 28 March 2026 and the Bank kindly invites you to submit your feedback via email to EconomicGovernance@ebrd.com by 28 March 2026. 

Under the EBRD’s Strategic and Capital Framework for 2026-30, economic governance is one of three priority areas for the Bank, alongside the transition to a green economy and human capital and equality of opportunity for all. These priority areas are supported by two cross-cutting enablers – digital technology and private-sector mobilisation.

The EBRD invites stakeholders, partners, clients, civil society organisations and the wider public to share their views on the draft Economic Governance Strategy. Their feedback will help to refine the strategy ahead of its finalisation, ensuring that it is aligned with market needs and the priorities of the Bank’s regions, sectors and clients.

Economic governance lies at the heart of the EBRD’s transition mandate. At its core, it is about better-functioning markets, unlocking the full potential of private sector-led growth while holding the state sector accountable for the delivery of high-quality goods and services.

The Bank’s strategy seeks to deepen its impact by focusing on long-term, systemic change that fosters well-functioning market economies. It will deliver clear value to the EBRD’s clients by promoting transparency, accountability, and fair competition, fostering open, market-oriented, and private-sector-led economies that deliver sustainable growth, resilient institutions, and high-quality public services.

By combining the Bank’s distinct business model – closely aligned policy reforms and investments – with an intentional and sustained operational focus, the strategy positions economic governance as a transformative lever for systemic market reform, helping our regions to transition to a future that is characterised by openness, innovation and opportunity.
